CALCULATORS, COMPUTERS, & MATHEMATICS
11th - 12th, 1 Trimester,
1/2 credit (Available in 2009 - 2010 when the class of 2011 are juniors.)
Calculators, computers, and mathematics is an elective math course designed for high school students. Students will learn how to use theTI-83 graphing calculator as a tool to understand math concepts. The computer will be used as a tool throughout the course. The Internet will be used as a resource to understand and expand on math ideas.
HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS
11th - 12th
Grade, 1 Trimester, 1/2
credit (Available in 2009 - 2010 when the class of 2011 are juniors.)
Prerequisite: 114 Algebra II
This course will give students a different way to learn about mathematics and to study some of the ways it has been developed and discovered. This course is recommended for those students who plan to enter a mathematics related field at the college level. Topics to be studied will include the history of number systems and their development, early civilizations use of mathematics, along with certain historical individuals and topics in mathematics.
INTRO. TO STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
11th - 12th Grades, 1 Trimester, 1/2
credit (Available in 2009 - 2010 when the class of 2011 are juniors.)
Prerequisite: 114 Algebra II
This course is intended to develop a deeper understanding of the standards that deal with statistics and probability that are introduced in Algebra I and Algebra II. It will prepare students who plan to go into a math or science related field which will require a statistics course in college. Topics to be covered include data collection and analysis, producing and interpreting plots, and probability with a focus on real world applications.
Intro. to
Algebra
2 Trimesters long
(Four Math credits required
for Graduation)
Prerequisite:
This course is designed to offer a more in-depth study of Algebra 1 concepts and standards. Emphasis is placed on expressions, equations and linear functions.
Algebra I Concepts
2 Trimesters long
(Four Math credits required
for Graduation)
Prerequisite: Intro
to Algebra
This course is
designed to offer a more in-depth study of Algebra 1 concepts and standards.
Emphasis is placed on polynomials, nonlinear functions, radical functions,
rational functions and data analysis.
ALGEBRA
I
2 Trimesters
long
(Four Math credits required
for Graduation)
Prerequisite: Satisfactory
completion of middle school Course III or Pre Algebra 110
Provides a foundation in basic concepts of algebra with special emphasis on signed numbers, positive and negative exponents, linear equations including systems of linear equations and their graphs. Continuous emphasis is placed on problem solving and critical thinking. Operating with fractions in algebraic expressions and equations is emphasized. Emphasis is placed on expressions, equations, linear functions, polynomials, nonlinear functions, radical functions, rational functions and data analysis.
GEOMETRY
2 Trimesters long (Four Math credits required
for Graduation)
Prerequisite: Intro to
Algebra I & Algebra I Concepts OR Algebra I
Geometry is a one (1) year course in which the student will study inductive and deductive reasoning and their differences. In doing this the student will study points, angle relationships, line relationships, planes, similarity congruence with emphasis on triangles, polygons, circles and arcs, inequalities, ratio and proportion, similar figures, right triangle trigonometry, construction of geometric figures, and locus.
ALGEBRA
II
2 Trimesters long
(Four Math credits required
for Graduation)
Prerequisite: Geometry or taken simultaneously with Geometry
This course expands topics from Algebra I and moves on to solving systems of equations and inequalities; matrices; polynomial functions; irrational and complex numbers; conics, exponential and logarithmic function, sequences and series; statistics and probability; and trigonometric function, identities, and graphs. This course puts an emphasis on applying and connecting these topics to real world situations in technology, career, and everyday life.
PRE-CALCULUS
2 Trimesters long
(Four Math credits required
for Graduation)
Prerequisite: Algebra II
This course introduces topics dealing with functions (polynomial, rational, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic), vectors, parametric equations, conics, discrete math, statistics, data analysis, graph theory, limits, derivatives, and integrals. This course should prepare a student for college level pre-calculus and calculus courses. Applications in science and technology in this course show a practical use for these concepts.
CALCULUS
2 Trimesters long (Four Math
credits required
for Graduation)
Prerequisite: Pre-calculus
This course develops and takes mathematics to a whole new level. This course develops topics in functions, limits, and continuity; derivatives; integrals; plane curves and polar coordinate; series, power series and complex numbers; vectors; partial derivatives; and integrals over plane and solid regions. This course give real-world applications in science, technology, and careers to show students why calculus is important to their future.
